The default values for amavis spam action are in the middle between
"remove this spam" and "but the user should have a chance to see
it".

In /kolab/etc/kolab/templates/amavisd.conf.template change the value
for $final_spam_destiny from D_PASS to D_DISCARD, then the mails
will only be sent to the quarantine.

Alternatively use "$sa_kill_level_deflt = 999.0;" instead of
"$sa_kill_level_deflt = $sa_tag2_level_deflt;" to never copy spam
mails to the quarantine. In this case you probably want to keep
D_PASS.

I think the later should become the default for Kolab 2.2.
